Such an instrument was all the more necessary since the nuclear non-proliferation regime was in danger of becoming weakened if the threatened development of a new generation of nuclear weapons was to become a reality and if such weapons were to be deployed in the new security strategies or if States were to start withdrawing from the NPT.
Un instrumento de esa clase es tanto más necesario cuanto que el régimen de no proliferación corre el riesgo de debilitarse si se materializa la amenaza de desarrollar una nueva generación de armas nucleares y si esas armas llegan a formar parte de las nuevas estrategias de seguridad o si los Estados comienzan a retirarse del TNP.
